This is beautiful light shade in an antique ship's lantern style. The original ones were oil lamps but this one is ready to have a cable threaded through to be used with electricity. There is no wiring supplied with this shade but it would be easy to fit. Made from copper with its original glass shade. There's also a chain to hang it from. The width measurement given includes the metal guard bars. The base measures 11cm across. Would look equally good with a candle or night light inside.
